Breaking it down for the folks in Wayne County today.
Showing much alohas to FEMA Administrator Craig Fugate.
All the fun stuff during class…cause that’s how I roll.
Reporting live from the Emergency Operations Center (EOC)….

Stopped by CNN HQ today…
Oh you know, just checking out CNN’s world headquarters. #YouSoFancy
Also got a chance to see behind the scenes at HLN (formerly Headline News). Despite going through a newer format in the last 3-5 years, I’ve been a fan since the days of 30 minute repeat news as well a Linda Stouffer, Chuck Roberts, Lynn Russell, Wolfie, Jeanne Moos, etc….All from the 80s.
Also found out Mike Gallanos is pretty funny IRL too.
Oh the fun news antics behind the scenes….
Mahalos to the crews at CNN…including CNN News Editor @RyanSloanCNN.

Here for my briefing!
Time to get my game face on.
@rusnivek
Deployed down south.
Shhhhh, I’m trying to pay attention!
@rusnivek
Had a solid day teaching ICS-300 Intermediate ICS for Expanding Incidents to various public safety professionals at Washington County EMA.
Solid group hailing from several different functional groups.
I really enjoy classes that have a good mix of participants. It makes the class WAY more interesting and allows more input into exercises during class.
Remember: At 0300, I’m not pretty. At 0300, you are not pretty. Best time to get to know each other is under bright lights and calm setting…like now. Learn what is important to each agency so that you can better support their mission and goals during a disaster or emergency.

It’s May. Holey moley, it’s May.
For those tracking my whearabouts, I’ll be doing some work/deployment in FEMA Region-9, Region-4, and of course Region-5.
Stay safe and healthy everyone!

Breaking down another ICS-400 class today at Seville Guilford Fire Department.
Teaching on behalf of Ohio Emergency Management Agency (OEMA) in Ohio Department of Public Safety (ODPS) always brings a good mix of participants from all over the state. Fairly large crowd this morning which was filled with a bunch of great interactions.
Looking forward to the afternoon session. Bring on the coffee!
@rusnivek
Fever and illness, I’d like you to meet my friend…ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ!
Guaranteed to solve several infections including zombie.
Again, no time for being sick Dr. Jones!
@rusnivek
Seriously, what the hell did I get?
And is that a fever?
I can’t remember the last time I was sick.
Buckle up Buttercup – No time to get sick now Dr. Jones! Good grief.
Gotta teach tomorrow too!
@rusnivek
Starting out ICS-300 Intermediate ICS for Expanding Incidents this morning. Fairly large class with VERY varied backgrounds makes for an interesting class.
Also good to see both EMA directors from Medina County and Wayne County stop in and welcome the class too.
As always, it’s great to be teaching on behalf of Ohio Emergency Management Agency (OEMA) in Ohio Department of Public Safety (ODPS).
